    Could you speak nicely to the builders next to me and ask them not to start work at 7am:mad:

    Hoping you are getting on well likklegibbon. I've just stopped after about 1 hour activity. Doing really well.

    Just going to have a cuppa and open the post which has finally arrived then at 2:30 mad 30 minutes before kids home from school.

    How long has this been going on for gunsandbanjos? It might be worth a ring to the local council - unless it's them making the racket in the first place. If it's a continual disturbance then you can ask them to investigate.

  • Don't feel guilty LJD - I'm just catching up from everything I couldn't do earlier in the week......and to stop myself from feeling guilty

  • Hello :hello:

    Haven't posted on the old style boards for a while. I've recently come out of hospital after a operation and I am finally starting to do little bits around the house (mainly tidying).

    I normally do all my cleaning on a saturday while DS is out with my ex (which takes a couple of hours) However I'm not fully fit yet so wont be able to do that for a few weeks and wondered if I can join you lovely people on here until I can get back into my old routine??

    I also need that bit of motivation as well :o

    Obviously I won't start properly until next week. See you all then.

    I have done not a lot today. Hoover is out in lounge (been there since 10am and still not used it). I have roasted a chicken, cooked sausage rolls, popcorn chicken and made bread rolls (currently in oven) - parents evening so bit of a dash tonight. Pick DD1 up home then swimming at 5 so will get home about 6 and parent evening apt at 6.20. So will be picnic tea. But other than that I have done nothing.

    I am having a wobbly day today where I feel crap about myself (probably because of all the chocolate i scoffed last night). So righting today off and will crack on tomorrow as I am sure I will feel better.

    Hugs to all that need them.
